Bent on Crime.

| Sometime ago man and his wife sepa-

county. They had son about ten years
old, and the father bound him out to a farm

him. The lad detested the work to which
he was hound, and he sezed the first oppor-
tunity to run away, taking some property
belonging to farmer. He was caught and
bound over to the Reform School during his
minority. AT the school he behaved reason
ably well and made some progress in his
studies, but he was one of those boys that

the age of sixteen he was bound out to a
Buxton gentleman. This was last June.

watch and two dollars in money, and
tramped into New Hampshire where he
hired out for dollar and quarter a day.
He sold the watch for SIS. After working
two weeks and getting his pay he decamped
in the night stealing horse to accompany
him. The horse he tried to sell without suc-
cess, and then turned him loose. He was
caught in Maine and brought back to the
Reform School few days ago. When one
of the trustees said to him that he didn't
know what to do with such case the bow
replied: LET me out and I'll get my own
living" The trustee answered that he had

troubled him was how he would get it,

enough to make him turn tail and flee.

Good Plover Shooting.

There is large number of plovers in the
fields in the vicinity of the city, and many of
our sportsmen are taking advantage of this
fact to bag few of them. The bang of the
shot gun can now be heard every day in the
fields, and the result is good fall of ployer.
The long grass in some of the fields e0nceals
the birds. but in walking across they will fly
up on all sides As soon as all of the grass
is cut, there will probably be more of the
more easily at the grasshoppers, of which
they are very fond. Some of the sportsmen
from other cities are trying this kind of
shooting in this vicinity, and find it inter
esting sport. IS

CHALLENGE CUP RACE.
The MiiIy Again Captures the Sec
ond-Ciass Prize.

Some time ago it will be remembered that
the owner of the yacht Willie, not satisfied
with the result of the two races their boat
had participated in against the Milly. for the
second-class challenge cup of the Portland
Yacht Club, again challenged that vessel to
race for the cup, and yesterday the third
contest took place.
The day was anything but cheerful, the
fog rolling in at late hour and showing
strong signs of its presence in the harbor be-
fore the start. The wind was quite fresh
from the eastward when the yachts got their
send-otf at few moments after one o'clock.
The fog kept clearing and shutting down
during the run SO that all that can be said is
that the race was close as the appended
table will show. The Milly was the victor
as in the former races. Capt. Stubs, of the
Willie, entered two protests, one on account
of the race being called in when the fog was
prevailing, and the other because the Milly
had so many hands employed.
